Switches code for first time after getting off the harness mark at Angers earlier in the month. Has always been destined for a career under the saddle and has a realistic chance of demonstrating why

Eliminated as often as not in this branch of the code. Raced respectably when 3rd to NEWTON DES ANDIERS (5) last week, and returns to racing shod, but is not a first-3 priority

Looked thoroughly professional on December's monte debut, winning over the short course in good order. Has been afforded time to return to his best and will be well-backed to repeat

Gave a fine account on monte debut here, winning a 2200m Class D on Boxing Day. Showed a bit too much spirit on that occasion but will not be far off the mark if Paul Ploquin keeps him focused

An interesting race in spite of a small number of runners. Full-brother to the champion Idylle Speed, NICE SPEED (2) has done enough under harness to warrant a crack at his intended discipline and with Damien Bonne aboard can get straight down to business. He will, though, be pitted against Mathieu Mottier's promising NICKEL DE BAILLE (4) who won over the inner course here in early-December and who will benefit from being fitted with front pads this time. Runner-up to him that day before getting off the mark last week, NEWTON DES ANDIERS (5) is also in with a shout.
Quality Swedish-trained element taking first competitive steps south of the nordics. Behind in earnings, is in top shape, will be barefoot, and can play a leading role if he takes to the new profile

Stormed up in a 2700m Class D here before coming close 2nd in superior company over course and distance next time. Is clearly a cut above most here and will be expected to get back in the winners' enclosure

Pleasantly surprising 5th in a 2700m Class C here on Christmas Eve. Has placed just once in 4 starts over track and trip and even with David Thomain reining is unlikely to create an upset

After having been given a well-measured return to competition, it is no surprise that JANKO HAUFOR (6) is in the form he is in. He just missed out in a Class B here in early-December and, fresh for the occasion, should be able to wrap this up. Barefoot after winning 3 of his last 5 starts, GODFATHER (DEN) (1) makes his Vincennes debut with a good card to play. Norwegian import VALLATONIAN (3) thrives over 2850m on the main track and, importantly, excels for Matthieu Abrivard. JOLIE STAR (12) may not have the most harmonious of formcards but she will be barefoot, reined by Eric Raffin, and not to be underestimated. JIZOU D'ETANG (11) reassured here early this month and even though preferred right-handed, still looks competitively well in.
Quality Dutch type that has swept all before him to date. Faces a stiffer challenge this time but has shown good speed and will be interesting to watch over the Vincennes surface. Place chance

Well-regarded at home, MAJIRO KALOUMA (7) has done nothing but improve recently, came close to losing his maiden tag here late last month, and with shoes off this time can finally have his way. MILAN DU BOSQUET (6) was eliminated on re-entry early last month, has had time to come on though, and with front pads fitted has a reasonable shot at making his Vincennes debut a winning one. MALIUM (8) gets a second crack at racing barefoot and will be no easy touch if Benoit Robin keeps him trotting. GURION FONT (1) has won all 4 starts at home in the Netherlands and even though untried beyond 2100m, must still be taken seriously.
Starts for first time since 19 November. Is prepping for a return to the monte code and can be ruled out

Oddly disappointing in a Class D here early this month, IERMES DE GUEZ (11) takes quite the dip in category, will be barefoot, and can win this if Leo Blavette successfully navigates the start. Better-positioned on the front row though, and confirmed at a superior level, GREZ (5) returns to the harness code with a lot to offer. IF I TELL YOU (3) has nothing to prove in the claiming division, faces his first objective of the new year, and with shoes off will be no pushover. Similarly well-placed behind the car, HERMES LUDOIS (4) will be expected to show more than he did last week.
Starts for first time since running 2nd at Gournay-en-Bray in early-November. Is barefoot for comeback but is going to need the race

Reliability may not be her strong suit but MAKE IT RIGHT (9) almost did just that when 2nd in a Le Mans Class E in mid-December. She is competitively-shod for the first time, Benjamin Rochard stays faithful, and with application will be a tough nut to crack. MADAME DELO (2) sports another formula for his Vincennes debut, is clearly close to her race, and the engagement of Eric Raffin augurs well for her prospects. Well-engaged here, and plainly enjoying a good run of form, MOLLY DU CAUX (11) benefits from a fresh configuration and looks competitive for a place in the frame. Eliminated as often as not, MADEMOISELLE JOLIE (10) is a promising filly nevertheless and will appreciate having been re-shod.

Nicely-engaged close to the limit of earnings, JAHIA DU TRIO (14) has been enjoying something of a renaissance recently and, after romping on her 2850m Vincennes bow, looks eminently capable of imposing over this shorter trip. Anthony Barrier will still be keeping an eye on JALNA GIRL (5) who ran 2nd to her that day, and JOSEPHA CHOUP (10) who will be barefoot and reined by Matthieu Abrivard. JUTONNIERE (7) has been reconfigured for her return to the capital and will have a lot to offer if she keeps trotting.

A veritable dynamo when focused, JERICHO DU RIB (7) missed out by little to JUSTE SNOB (2) under similar conditions late last month only to inherit success. Both have been reconfigured for the re-match but, with the latter sporting 4 pads, Joel Hallais's horse could legitimately turn the tables. Reassuring at Meslay-du-Maine a month ago, JOOST D'OLERON (9) can again make the frame if still on the boil. Anthony Dollion could not have wished for a better entry for IRINO DE GUERON (12) who appears close to his race.

First-rate individual that recently beat Liscado De Houelle, who since went on to confirm. Is new to 2700m but given his versatility, will not be easy to oppose

Should not be condemned for failing to deliver behind LE MAESTRO (3) in a 2100m Class D here on 11 January. Returns to his distance of preference and can challenge for a place in the frame

Has not been at his best in either code lately. Returns to racing shod and has no possible chance

Hardy element that goes over any trip, and most recently flew up at Pontchateau. Is hard to fault when barefoot and has a realistic chance of finishing in the mix

Has shown a different side under the saddle since starting to race barefoot, but is here for reasons of conditioning and can be passed over

Put in a good performance to run 4th, a place behind LE MAESTRO (3), in a 2100m Class D here on 11 January. Is clearly close to his race and can contest the finish this time

Reliability not his strong suit but has evident ability. Has form with his driver who will be mindful to keep him trotting. First 5

Never far from losing his action but ran valiant 5th in a 2700m Class C late last month. Has been reconfigured for the occasion, however a repeat seems improbable

Useful type that was surprisingly eliminated at Cagnes on 27 December. Goes barefoot for first time, with Mathieu Mottier reining, but is being introduced to Vincennes and is unlikely to cause an upset

Oddly lacklustre in a Class C over course and distance on 28 December. Takes a dip in category and should prove considerably more competitive this time. Place prospect

LOQUIDY (6) has hardly put a foot wrong since his debut in November 2024; he has taken superbly to Vincennes conditions and will be favoured to confirm his recent success. LENNON D'HERFRAIE (12), however, does have a particular liking for 2700m here and can apply the pressure. The well-regarded L'ATOLL (16) has a pair of runs under his belt since the layoff and drops back down the class-ladder with a lot to contribute. Very much at home over course and distance, LOCO FLIGNY (7) should not be far off the mark.
Has ample ability but out of the picture in last 2. Has other priorities and can be passed over

Won 2 in a row here during the autumn, including under the day's conditions. Races barefoot for the occasion and from the 2-spot can give KATCHI QUICK (5) something to think about

Beat a number of these over 2700m in early-December before comfortably securing a 2750m Toulouse Class E on 3 January. Benefits from an excellent draw and although not a priority, should not be ruled out either

Has looked rather ordinary this winter at Vincennes, most recently biting off more than he could chew on Christmas Day. Enjoys a good draw but others still easier to support

Serious sort that gave a fine account here mid-month, dominating a 2850m Class C. Has yet to prove himself over shorter but in present form is easy to like for the double

Tricky element but has talented in spades. Has a monte campaign on his agenda however and can be confidently disregarded

Has been knocking at the door of late, most recently putting in a good showing in Cagnes early this month. Pleased on last month's Vincennes debut but still represents no more than a minor place chance

Has been going good-guns since September, most recently winning 2 of last 3. Pleased on sole start over track and trip and a repeat of his recent Cagnes performance would see him finish close once again

Gives an honourable account for the most part but was well-beaten here earlier in the month and being reconfigured is unlikely change much

Won last 2 starts here, latterly a 2700m Class C here on 27 November. Will be returning fresh and despite the draw still looks competitive for a place in the picture

Classy individual with nothing to prove at Vincennes, but stays shod this time and best to keep one's powder dry

Has done nothing but improve lately, latterly 3rd to KATCHI QUICK (5) in a 2850m Class C here a week ago. On this occasion though, confirmation seems unlikely

2nd to KINGSMAN D'EOLE (2) in November before running tenacious 4th to KATCHI QUICK (5) in a 2850m Class C here a week back. Is close to his race but in this company may have to settle for a minor place cheque

Generous mare that consistently gives her best and most recently ran 3rd in a 2700m Class C here 3 weeks ago. Has pulled a rough number but should still be good enough to make first 5

Ran 2nd in a 2700m Class C before being eliminated in last week's race of reference. Has previously won over course and distance and even though the draw will do him no favours, he cannot be discounted

Encouraged behind KING GEORGES (15) late last month before flopping in 15 January race of reference. Sports a fresh formula but will not be helped by the tough draw

An excellent servant that made short work of his first target of the season, KATCHI QUICK (5) is not known for his sprinting prowess but he is plainly in top shape, enjoys an advantageous spot on the front line, and the race looks his for the taking. Winner under these conditions during the autumn, KINGSMAN D'EOLE (2) will be barefoot following his Cordemais conditioner and looks the main threat. Respectable in both Vincennes appearances, KEEN ON ME (8) returns to the capital in rude health and is unlikely to let the side down. KING DE L'OUEST (10) presents superb Vincennes credentials and is out for a barefoot 3-timer.
